Aims

By the end of this course, the student shall be able to analyze the main tenets of the philosophy of history and to discuss the epistemological, ideological, and political problems raised by historical practices and theories.

Main themes

The content of the course changes from year to year and we always examine either Classical or Contemporary texts.

Content and teaching methods

This year the course will examine the "rationalization of the life-world" through a study of the phenomenological perspective (Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Schutz) and the contextual pragmatics perspective (Habermas, Bourdieu). The aim is to examine the transformations brought about by Modernity in the manner in which subjects perceive their own being-in-the-world and the norms that orient their actions.
